Good job Bob,
Now you get to do it again for "redundancy" just in case the main box somehow croaks, ya gotta be auto failover redundant, or have a hot or cold spare sync'd
Surprise!
Don't even go there....lol Still 10 times better than my dedicated ever could be. Proud of that. And for 150 a month... And I got a spare 1u sitting there.
Got a spare motherboard, fans, powersupply sitting here 5 minutes from the server. 3 drives in a software raid 1 with one as a hot spare and one extra for a backup. 2 cpus, 2 mem sticks..... If the case breaks I am screwed though. Gonna add a second comp with a slave database and vice versa when I can afford a second one.
The next step will be branching to two servers...and that will just be as long off as I can make it.
My business plan is to make enough money so that when it comes to branching to a second server I can hire one of you maniacs to bang your head against it while I go to the beach..
:)
Capitalism at its finest! ;-P
